When the Actions of Others Injure or Harm You, We Can Help Right the Wrong

What we do is straightforward. We help personal injury victims of car and truck accidents, medical malpractice, and bad faith from insurance companies. Our lawyers also serve consumers throughout Florida, including Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Ft. Myers, who are victims of consumer fraud or unfair and deceptive business practice... in other words, our personal injury attorneys help those people who are suffering due to the negligence of others.

Under our legal system, a victim has the right to the best attorneys and the highest level of committed representation. You will find these at our law firm, and we are proud to provide them to you. When you come to FREIDIN DOBRINSKY, you don't get the experience of just one attorney, you benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of our entire legal team because our attorneys take a group approach to all of our cases.

We focus on the areas of personal injury where we truly excel for our clients. We don't try to be all things to all people. In these areas, we combine 100 years of courtroom experience with our ability to expend the resources necessary to win our trials. Another advantage is our strong reputation with our colleagues, judges... and our opponents.

Historically, big business, the medical profession, and large insurance companies have held all the power in the courtroom when defending themselves against a victim's claim. They typically have the more experienced legal team, more resources, more time, and more money. It doesn't have to be this way, and with FREIDIN DOBRINSKY, it's not.

There is a difference between law firms, and we built this site to help you make an informed decision. Take a look at some of our landmark cases, jury awards and settlements, the biographies of our attorneys, and recent news about the firm. We are here to assist you, so please contact us anytime with any questions.
